Translation by Amaia
Floating inside the glass, my eyes were only... watching you
The signals that are repeated without showing even a fragment of kindness only speak of love from my lips
I removed the plugs running all over my body, on my own two feet
I stood to look at the true sky one last time1
The world that spreads out inside my dreams is the last secret garden
the last secret garden
I'm already going to vanish from inside you now, but don't forget... my name alone
The knives that were thrust into my back, in a gap of space-time that becomes more and more distorted2
I regard as wings, still awed by the sky3
In order to burn through all the memory storage running over my entire body, I looked at you alone
The world that spreads out inside my arms is the last secret garden
the last secret garden
If I'm already going to vanish from inside you now, then don't forget...that we embraced
You should softly close your eyes to block the light, if you want to dream
But I've already noticed, everything about you who raised your arms up widely…
The world that spreads out inside my dreams is the last secret garden
the last secret garden
I'm already going to vanish from inside you now, but don't forget...my name alone
The world that spreads out inside my arms is the last secret garden
I looked at you alone
the last secret garden
you alone...
1. He sings 空 sora "sky" but writes 現実 genjitsu "reality", I combined the meanings.
2. He sings "gap in time"時 but writes "gap in space-time"時空.
3. He sings 空 sora "sky" but writes 宇宙 uchuu "universe"
Translation by Excused_Early
My eyes floating in the glass were simply watching you
Only repeated signals without a shred of tenderness
Kept speaking of love at my lips
I removed the plugs from all over my body, and just once more
I set out to see this reality on my own feet
The world expanding in my dream is the last secret garden
The last secret garden
I'll have to vanish from inside you now, but don't forget...not my name at least
Between the time and space that keep being distorted
I kept looking up at the sky while pretending the knives in my back were wings
To burn down all the memory mediums from my entire body
I was looking only at you
The world expanding in my arms is the last secret garden
The last secret garden
If I have to vanish from inside you now
Don't forget my embraces
You should gently close your eyes to shield them from light
If dreams are what you wish to see
But I've already noticed everything about you..., you who swung your arms
The world expanding in my dream is the last secret garden
The last secret garden
I have to vanish from inside you now
But don't forget my name
The world expanding in my arms is the last secret garden
I saw only you
The last secret garden
Only you....
